rav4 hybrid seems to really resonate with buyers. Much larger percentage sold compared to ICE versions of Camry, Corolla, Highlander etc. Those hybrid versions are a blip on the radar compared to total volume. Wasn't expecting that. Wonder why that is.

Pricing is the main reason. RAV4 sells great because hybrid pricing is ridiculously closer to the petrol than on other cars.

LUXURY: Mercedes-Benz wins November, cutting into BMW's lead


Philip Nussel

The new BMW X7 crossover generated 2,614 deliveries during the month and 18,415 for the year.

Paced by booming sales of its crossovers, Mercedes-Benz topped BMW in the November U.S. luxury brand race and narrowed the gap with its German rival for the 2019 title with just one month to go. Lexus posted a strong month as well, maintaining its grasp on third place.

All three luxury brands are now in positive territory for the year. BMW leads Mercedes by only 3,280 vehicles after 11 months, setting up a December showdown for the year's luxury-brand champion. BMW last year ended a three-year title run by Mercedes

Mercedes
said November sales gained 8.7 percent to 33,721 deliveries while year-to-date results moved up 0.7 percent to 285,800 units. GLE crossover sales surged 52 percent to 6,052, while the GLC jumped 21 percent to 7,515 units. G-class SUV sales soared 70 percent to 1,309 units. Most Mercedes-Benz sedans plummeted, with the C-class slipping 23 percent to 4,469 deliveries.

"November was a solid month for Mercedes-Benz thanks to the enthusiastic response to our refreshed SUV lineup," CEO Nicholas Speeks said in a statement. "Along with the impetus from our model offensive, we moved ahead on a year-to-date basis and are looking to continue that momentum through the end of the year."

BMW's
November sales improved 10 percent to 31,213 units, lifting the year-to-date gain to 4.5 percent. The new X7 crossover generated 2,614 deliveries during the month and 18,415 for the year, accounting for almost half of the brand's 2019 light-truck increase. X3 crossover sales rose 9.1 percent in November to 5,948.

Lexus parent
Toyota said its luxury brand's sales gained 14 percent during the month to 30,093 units. Its year-to-date sales now stand at 262,789 — three vehicles ahead of last year.

The luxury-brand rankings do not include BMW's Mini or Mercedes-Benz van sales.

As to the Toyota, luckily Avalon started sales in China and seems to be doing good there. Otherwise they are really cashing it in on the new Rav4.
NX -5.1%
RX -1.8%
GX -3.2%
LX -8.8%

Sure the lost volumes were made up by the new UX. My point still stands.

toyota down a bit this year - the rav4 is huge but can't overcome downturn in several other models.

hyundai up 4% and i think they've stole some share from toyota.

genesis obviously had a crap fall last year and spring this year as they re-contracted their dealers, but over 2K sales for november is definitely better.
UX isnt exactly an Earth shattering product that will make people want to buy it. It's a $40k Corolla. It would have done better with a better engine, like the 2.5L from the Camry.

A Hybrid sedan has more compromises. The RAV4 actually offers more power and AWD. I think once Toyota adds some sort of e-AWD to the Hybrid Camrys and Avalons, they will start doing well too.

RAV4 sales are unbelievable.
Good for Toyota but personally not sure why so many ppl buy this thing.

RX sales are also incredible and basically saving the Lexus brand.

Lexus car sales are abysmal on the other hand - G90 will overtake LS500 soon which is a huge downfall for the great LS moniker.

Infiniti Brand sales are abysmal- they should seriously consider shutting down the brand.

Yeah, 5.4% up is bad... it should be 30000%. Got it.

UX is not built for US market, it is selling what they have.

I am pretty sure that Toyota is happier selling 45k Rav4's than Camry's.... and 11k RX's than IS's.

It is cha-ching time for them. As supposed to Hyundai that is losing billions on Genesis.
